SMWW and this class helped me find my dream job. I was leery of an online course because I had never taken one before, but SMWW has a fantastic group of professors and mentors that are available when you need them. It was very hands-on and easy to correspond and work with others involved in this course. The online discussions were helpful and each time very engaging. It gave me the opportunity to speak with the professors, and others involved in the course, ask advice and set weekly goals in order to track my progress. I would recommend SMWW to anyone who is sports-driven and has the desire to work in the sports industry.

The entire team at SMWW gave me the confidence and foundation to create my dream path in sports. With extreme confidence, I can say I wouldn't be working for the 2nd largest shoe company in the world if it wasn't for the foundation SMWW set for me. I have taken 3 courses and looking to take a 4th! Thanks SMWW!
